Tahoma 31™ Bermudagrass is among the most winter-hardy of the improved hybrid bermudagrasses on the market today.

Developed by top turfgrass researchers at Oklahoma State University (as OCK 1131) and, through nationwide testing in the National Turfgrass Evaluation Program (NTEP), Tahoma 31 demonstrated its resilience and excelled in key metrics compared to other bermudagrasses including Tifway, TifTuf and Latitude 36.

Tahoma 31 derives its name from the Native American word, Tahoma, which means frozen water.In test after test, Tahoma 31 shows its exceptional winter hardiness, tested up to 75% more cold tolerant than other bermudagrass varieties. With the additional characteristics of both improved wear tolerance and drought resistance, Tahoma 31 is ideal for sports turf, golf courses and high-quality lawns in the Mid-Atlantic & Transition Zone.

Tahoma 31 took more than a decade to develop and confirm its traits before it was released for licensing.

Tahoma 31 Bermudagrass, ‘OKC 1131’ was DEV in 2007 and tested in multiple years in the National Turfgrass Evaluation Program (NTEP). The NTEP National Bermudagrass Test provided data from 17 locations in 2013 and 2014, and from 19 location in 2015.

Which bermudagrass uses the least amount of water? Tahoma 31 (OKC 1131) An article in the May-June 2018 issue of Crop Science offers this conclusion: TifTuf ranked consistently in the group of genotypes with the highest ET rates, whereas OKC 1131 ranked consistently in the group of genotypes with lowest ET rates in 2013, 2014, and 2015.
